A design tool, not a plant-care tracker

Many gardening apps identify plants or schedule watering. Gardmi focuses on spatial decisions: what fits, where it goes and how the whole garden works together.

Plan on mobile, refine on a larger screen

Touch controls let you sketch and review a garden from your phone or tablet, and the 3D walkthrough has an on-screen joystick. For precise dimensions, dense planting plans or detailed house layouts, a laptop or desktop gives you more room — the same cloud project opens on either.

Install gardmi straight from the browser, with no App Store or Google Play: it opens full-screen from its own icon, right back in your garden.

Measured layout before decorative detail

Start with boundaries, access, existing buildings and utilities. Then compare path widths, bed depths, tree positions, seating areas and water features. This reduces attractive but impossible layouts.

Know what the free garden app does not replace

Gardmi does not identify plants from a camera, choose species for your exact soil, generate local sowing dates or send care reminders. It also does not replace a boundary survey, utility search, drainage design, planning approval, structural design or a landscape professional's site assessment.

Use it to compare a clear, measured concept before buying materials or commissioning detailed work.

How to design a garden with the app

  1. 1

    Draw the garden boundary

    Enter known lengths, trace an irregular plot or begin over a satellite map. Add the existing house, fence and utilities before testing ideas.

  2. 2

    Arrange beds, paths and plants

    Place lawns, planting beds, trees, shrubs, terraces, pools and garden furniture. Every object keeps an editable position and real size.

  3. 3

    Check the design in 3D

    Switch to 3D without rebuilding the plan. Walk at eye level to check routes, views, fence height, terrain and the relationship between house and garden.

  4. 4

    Share or export the plan

    Save automatically, share an editable or view-only link, and export PNG or PDF for discussion. Verify boundaries, services and construction details with qualified local professionals.
